Dear PoPville

“Local gift package recommendations?”

“Dear PoPville,

Wondering if you might be able to crowdsource some ideas from your readers on any good purveyors of gift baskets/packages for the holidays (preferably from small/local places)? I’d really like to send my fellow quarantined family and friends some fun gift baskets with a variety of goodies they can enjoy–maybe a mix of tasty treats and/or booze? Rather than giving the gift of just random stuff they don’t need (or not sending anything at all), I thought it could be nice to support some local businesses perhaps and send some varieties of yummy treats my loved ones can enjoy this holiday season.”

Another reader asks: “Looking for holiday gifts by local DC artisans, especially artists of color. Bonus points if proceeds go to local DC-based charities! Any recommendations?”
